The packages installed that way are the same as what you would get 
building them via ports yourself, except that packages correspond to 
the state of the ports tree back in time when the packages were 
actually built.

Nope.  The ports system doesn't distinguish between installing via a 
package or via a port, and can upgrade either one just as easily...
